Alila Sessions features Brett Dennen

Taking the stage on Sunday, Sept. 4, at 8:30PM, is acclaimed American folk artist, Brett Dennen, known for meditating on life’s most meaningful subjects with equal parts innocence and razor-sharp wit. All ages are welcome to enjoy this mesmerizing performance and original songs reflective of a life well-explored, well-pursued, and well-lived. Doors open at 6:30PM.

Benefitting The Rob Machado Foundation

Created by world-renowned professional surfer and local, Rob Machado, in 2004, the Rob Machado Foundation was founded upon the fundamental belief that our planet needs to be taken care of, and there’s no better place to start than with our local communities and children.

What started out in the early days as the introduction of gardening programs at local schools – has evolved into a water filling station program across a growing network of schools and public places that helps deliver clean, filtered water while encouraging reusables over single-use plastic bottles.

Concert, dinner, and drinks

Tickets are $179 per person and include a pre-show reception-style dinner, cocktail and tasting from Templeton Rye (a full bar will also be available), and concert lounge seating in the Oceana Ballroom. Tickets are available now and may be purchased online here.
